Fresh 1.50 beta 1 packages are now in the beta repository. I am extra happy that jhujhiti has written an IPv6 patch for libtransmission. So Transmission will gain official IPv6 support starting with this beta! - Thanks jhujhiti!

Since last week the PPA repository are signed. The ubuntu team has introduced signing keys for all PPA repositories. Unfortunately they have not informed the users, nor have they written documentation on how to import these keys

So it could be that you have received an error message like the following:

W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available:NO_PUBKEY 7D2C7A23BF810CD5W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems

Since I have received several e-mails about the issue, I have updated the initial post with information on how to import the keys from keyserver.ubuntu.com.

Be the way, all ubuntu keys are stored on keyserver.ubuntu.com. If you search for a key related to ubuntu, this is the place to look.

The package transmission-daemon does now automatically install a startup script. This will be the new ubuntu default from the ubuntu jaunty release. The download directory is set by default to /var/lib/transmission-daemon/downloads. You can edit the daemon settings under /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json.

Attention: Transmission-daemon will require a username and password for authentification! By default the username and password is "transmission". Example for transmission-remote:
